Description

For motivation see https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/122059

Autoyast installation for s390x in o3 has been failing while attempting first boot : https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/latest?arch=s390x&distri=opensuse&flavor=DVD&machine=s390x-zVM-vswitch-l2&test=autoyast_zvm&version=Tumbleweed

There has beem a bug reported, but it is marked as invalid :
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1209497

The issue cannot be reproduced on x3270, as the setup is different.

The setup for s390x zVM on O3 is different from osd. Some information about o3 workers can be found here: https://progress.opensuse.org/projects/openqav3/wiki/#o3-s390-workers

Notes:

  • Formatting the dasd before installation, results in the system not being able to propose a partitioning.
  • Creating an autoyast profile with partitioning included, fails as the system cannot locate the device /dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.0150 . This could indicate that the system cannot connect to lpar after booting, but seems strange because we don't experience the same issue with interactive installation on o3 s390x.
